In 2010, Google also donated $2m [2]. $2 Million a year? Now I know why Googlers complained about having one less olive in their lunch salad. How much does Google PROFIT from Wikipedia and how much does Wikipedia loses in fundraising when Google fails to send users to the info provider?

Wikipedia is drowning in money so this whole line of discussion is weird.

And most of the value of wikipedia is created by its unpaid users, not Wikimedia foundation.
